We need to see his assistants. Hopefully Major has good pool of funds to use for hiring. Levine had terrible luck hiring an OC. I don't remember his first DC but Gibbs (now at TX Tech) was a good one. His first OC hire was a disaster. He told me that Nesbitt from SFA was his 7th or 8th pick after Kliff Kingsbury, Kennedy at A&M, Meacham, etc. Of course in year two he said that Meacham was his #1 pick all along. Meacham stayed one year and then he went with Travis Bush (a UTSA QB coach).
Herman got his pick of assistants and a good pool of $$ to hire his guys and that worked well.

If both stay 5+ years it'll be because they haven't won enough for a P5 school to want them.

They'd name Phil Bennet for sure if they really wanted to go ALL OUT!

He's full of [deleted] too
now when he says Kiffen wasn't a "safe hire" I do believe they might have been put off by some of due diligence coming out of Tuscaloosa

completely idiotic statement but I guess he assumes none of Houston's conference mates have any ambition about improving their programs...some of which just happened to beat Houston this year

It's not like Applewhite is a choir boy either.

Applewhite says he wants to be at Houston long-term, and that he expects better than winning nine games.
